Trying to return user name using the background script , till is returning the null value

[rahamathullahmr]

Hello Experts,

I have a requirement where I need to populate a   string field called "user" with the user's name   as given in caller_id of the form if the user is   VIP .

To achieve it , I tried to go ahead with the onchange script   (as it a type of onload with some conditions) to invoke the glide ajax methods.

But before I go ahead , I wanted to verify if I can check using the background script that for the particular sys_id, whether I am able to get the user_name attribute on checking if the user's VIP value is true.

so this is the background script I worte :

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
   gr.addQuery('sys_id','62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1');
                 gr.query();
   if (gr.next()){
                                   if(gr.vip == true){
                                       return   gr.user_name;
                                       gs.print(gr.userName);
                             }else{
                                       return null;
                               }
                                 }

The javascript compiler says invalid return .

Need your guidance on this.

Thanks,

Rahamathullah

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');  

  gr.addQuery('sys_id','5b7c200d0a640069006b3845b5d0fa7c');  

                gr.query();  

  while(gr.next())

{  

                                  if(gr.vip == true)

{  

gs.print(gr.user_name);

                                    // return   gr.user_name;  

                            }

else{  

                                    // return null;  

                              }  

                                }

Try using onChange client script ..

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

    if (isLoading) {

          return;

    }

var caller=g_form.getReference('caller_id',getUserCheck);

}

function getUserCheck(caller){

  if(caller)

  {

  var uname= caller.user_name;

                var vp=caller.vip;

  //alert(uname);

                //alert(vp);

                if(vp=='true')

  {

  g_form.setValue('u_user',uname);

                }

  }

  }
